SECTION TWO l pjx ( The Roundup yiyi u By WILdORNE Harrf.i.l A Today— A few weeks ago I wrote a little squib about coffee, but in my Haste I omitted one import i ane point: I like my coffee pip ....... ing hot. If it’*" ; isn’t hot it i 1 isn’t coffee . . . ) Coffee is served i in varying de grees of temp | erature, so to I equalize things I have worked , out a technique ’which I call l “drinking th a heat off a cup ’o coffee”.' «This simply means that when a cup of coffee- begins to cool, I stop drink . ing ... Here’s an idea: Why i doesn’t some smart gadgeteer 1 come up. with a thermos-cup—a cup that will hold a constant heat until the last drop is consumed? Weather report: (Written with SENATOR fSS A SAM ERVIN Washington —The prospects for, much work faces the Congress at the beginning of the second ses-1 sion. * Busy Session In looking ahead at my sched-1 ule I foresee virtually unlimited j time to be spent on such things 1 as national defense, labor-man agement investigations, as well as the heavy amount of legislation j that always comes before the Sen. • ate Judiciary Committee.

Hertford THE CHO WAN HERALD the temperature at 25 degrees) There is but one consolation to be derived from the rigors of win ter: spring is coming ... A good friend of mine recently present ed me with several pairs of hand knitted wool socks. Just the thing for this kind of weather . . . I see by the papers that Govern or and Mrs. Hodges embarked on the Arosa Sky, luxury cruise ship sailing from Wilmington, for Caribbean waters. In almost a matte.’ of hours, the Governor will go fro*n the snow and i?e of North Carolina to a lend of palm trees and warm breezes. Bon voyage, Governor—may you en joy the sunshine. Yesterday Charles E. Bolton, known as Black Bart, was a poet as well as a first class outlaw and stagecoach robber. His practice j was to leave verses at the scene i of his crimes. Here is a partial sample of his versifying: .* and the people know the facts, things that we have not been told fully. In other words, this ses sion will afford the President and the Congress an opportunity for leadership of a high order; it ought to be forthcoming. Defense Spending Just how much more serious the recession will get is the sub ject of considerable speculation as we move into the new year. In creased defense spending and there seems to be almost univer sal agreement that it will be hik ed —will provide jorrje.what of a shot in the’economic arm of our country. * Labor . Management The trail £>f sordid testimony of some unions and management will require aggressive pursuit by the committee to learn what new legislation is needed in this field. ; Yet come what will, I’ll try it once, My condition can’t be worse; And if there’s money in that box, | ’Tis money in my pur.se. ; i Interesting fact about the Old West: Wild Bill Hickok wore a ! long-barreled Colt .45 carried in a! holster lined with velvet. The I velvet gave him a smoother and quicker draw. j Tomorrow —lt is a case of too lit- I tie and too late. Particularly in j the scientific field is it too late for ! long range educational planning. I We will never catch up with Rus i sio or hold our own, if we depend |on scientists who are now in I school. We must start NOW, poo! i all our scientific brains, all our j experts, and institute an all-out crash program. The United States I must have another Manhattan ! Project, if it expects to succeed ’ in this deadly “space race” that : confronts us. I am told that there is an inor dinately large amount of work to he done by the Select Committee of which 1 am a member. Bottom Rung At the moment there is very little possibility of any new civil rights legislation getting the seri ous attention of Congress. I hope that situation exists because there is absolutely no need to waste the time and money of the people of l this country on civil rights. It should be relegated to the bottom rung of the ladder of national needs, letting the people of the local communities work out these problems where they know best what steps are necessary and what the true conditions are. Civil rights heatings and debates took an inordinately large amount of my time at the last session, and .1 want to devote my time this ses sion to the things that protect us> i as a nation and things that will 1 i make our defense and national < [ economy strong. | lam not yet prepared to render ' , a decision on the proposed help j for education. This is another 1 ! matter, along with foreign aid, \ | that cannot be rushed through. : Congressman Cannon has warned j j the Congress and country that the | | gates are now down with respect j ! to demands for money for every j j conceivable thing.

BLENDED '# WHISKEY, 86 PSOOF, 65X GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS 60 - SECOND mm SERMONS ■■ Has 1‘ RED DODbP MBri TEXT: “A man of courage nev er wants weapons.”—Thos. Fulle: A recently-engaged young man timidly remarked to his bride-to be, "I haven’t the courage to tel. your father of my debts.” “Oh, what cowards you men * are,” remarked his fiancee. “Fa | ther hasn’t the courage to tell you of his.” We often hear people being urg ed to “forsake their evil selves" ind become better. That is a worthy admonition, yet it has been our observation that people are not as evil as they make themselves appear. Lots of folk I we know, wear an evil mask to j avoid curious glances from their 1 companions. They are afraid of ridicule. These people do not need to “forsake evil”. They need cour age. They are not evil at heart. I They are faint at heart. Because ' they lack courage they are but a step away from committing the evil whicn they pretend. In every age of history; dur ing every year of one’s life, cour age is the one bright thread that marks achievement. Courage turns men from evil and courage builds empires. Wo have an obligation to cour age wherever we meet it. We should encourage it. never belit tle it. Let us recognize and ap plaud it. Courage can change men who change worlds. solvency of our country is of 1 prime importance, too. Do not forget that an honest, j wise zeal, a lowly, triumphant j trust, a true heart, and a help-: ing hand constitute man, and 1 nothing less is man or woman, j —Mary Baker Eddy.
